Abstract

The invention discloses an intermittent reaction-continuous reaction rectification combined process for catalytic synthesis of oxalic acid. The process particularly comprises the following steps: (1) continuously feeding materials into a reactive dividing-wall rectification tower in a double batch reactor switching mode; (2) enabling dimethyl oxalate and water to enter a batch reactor to react primarily, wherein the equilibrium conversion rate reaches 50%-60%; and (3) continuously feeding reaction solution into a left-side reaction section ( zone b) of the reactive dividing-wall rectification tower from an upper feeding opening, continuously feeding normal-temperature water into the reactive dividing-wall rectification tower from a lower feeding opening of the zone b, and continuously discharging methyl alcohol produced in the reaction process from the tower top, wherein due to the discharging of methyl alcohol, the reaction proceeds to production of oxalic acid until dimethyl oxalate is completely hydrolyzed and the conversion rate can reach 99.5% or above. By virtue of the reactive dividing-wall rectification tower, the synthesis reaction and product separation and purification are implemented in the same tower, the existing process flow is simplified, and energy consumption and investment can be lowered. The intermittent reaction-continuous reaction rectification combined process for catalytic synthesis of oxalic acid has the characteristics of no addition of extra additives, high reaction speed, high conversion rate, low water-ester ratio, simple product separation operation, low energy consumption and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of oxalic acid, and specifically relates to a combined process of catalyzed synthesis of oxalic acid by batch reaction and continuous reactive distillation. Background technique [0002] Oxalic acid is an important organic chemical raw material. It is widely used in medicine, textile, organic synthesis, rare earth element refining and leather industries. It can also be used to synthesize dye intermediates, and purify metal equipment, prepare catalysts, and synthesize oxalic acid derivatives. Synthetic chemical intermediates and certain necessary reagents. [0003] At present, the main methods for producing oxalic acid in China are sodium formate method and nitric acid oxidation method. These two methods not only have high production costs but also seriously pollute the environment. Although most companies have made corresponding improvements to these two methods, the overall level is still not high....
